Restaurants near Oak Bay Park

Great food and great service. We had an intimate night and great date.

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

We have eaten here for many years and enjoyed every visit. Great place!

I'm both vegetarian and celiac and you would think I'd have trouble dining here but a true thing is that if a restaurant WANTS you to have a good experience, you can and will. I was accommodated easily by ordering a la carte from what I could see was available. Fresh grilled asparagus, a baked potato and scrumptious grilled brussels sprouts! My friend never cleans her plates and her Dilled Salmon with asparagus and garlic fried rice and asparagus were fully enjoys with a tiny amount to take home with a few sprouts. We had a great time.

Food was excellent as always, however, the Thurston Wolfe GSM [Grenache Syrah Malbec? not the Mouvedre used in southern France) that was recommended by the bar as a substitute for the Tempranillo did not fly well with the meat dishes. The Corsican vermentinu was excellent with the fish dishes - crisp, dry. The dessert carrot cake is what all carrot cakes dream to be, the gingerbread ice cream is spicy, and the chocolate garnache is for chocaholics!
